Are Selection History Effects Limited to Implicit Forms of Memory? Evidence From Intertrial Repetition.

Selection history effects in visual attention are typically considered implicit memory effects. In three experiments, we investigated if a key selection history effect, intertrial priming, could be based on the incidental application of explicit memory.

      ab: Selection history effects in visual attention are typically considered implicit memory effects. In three experiments, we investigated if a key selection history effect, intertrial priming, could be based on the incidental application of explicit memory. In the basic search task (Experiment 1), participants searched for real-world objects from different categories. We examined nonpredictive, intertrial repetition at two levels: (1) the repetition of target location from trial N−1 to trial N and (2) the repetition of target location and color within a category. Reliable repetition advantages were observed at both levels. In Experiments 2–4, we examined whether participants had explicit access to the target values driving the selection history effects here. In Experiments 2 and 3, participants could reliably report the properties of the immediately preceding search target. In Experiment 4, participants could reliably report the properties of the last target exemplar they had found in each of the 36 categories. These data indicate that guidance by selection history was based on the nonstrategic application of memory representations that could be explicitly retrieved and reported.
